SharePoint developer tips and tricks

Steve Bargelt — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 10:49:00 GMT

I've been scooped... and that is a good thing! I've been working on a MOSS 2007 / WSS v3 tips & tricks blog posting for a coupe days now but Andrew Connell's posting blows mine away! Thanks again AC for a great and informative post!

Last week Joel Oleson blogged about the warm-up scripts you'll find on the MOSS 2007 Beta 2 Tech Resource DVD. These scripts essentially force a JIT compilation of all pages in a SharePoint site and run STSADM.EXE to warm up the admin interfaces. These are invaluable, especially to people doing presentations or demons on SharePoint. I immediately modified them for my standard SharePoint virtual machine and made sure they run on startup, as well as added a shortcut to the Quick Launch toolbar so I can quickly fire them off when I switch from slides to demo. For more info on the scripts, check out Joel's post:

Out of all of the sessions that I attended at TechEd 2006 only three presenters really wowed me. Todd Bleeker and Ted Pattison on MOSS 2007 / SharePoint 2007 and Scott Guthrie on ASP.Net and ATLAS. Here are the links to all of the source from those presentations.

Office DevCon: Day 1, Part 1

Steve Bargelt — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 18:06:00 GMT

Keynote: Pretty typical keynote session – BillG and Steven Sinofsky talked at a pretty high level – explaining some of the business reasons that we should adopt Office 2007. Yeah – yawn. The most notable announcements were that we will be getting Visual Studio Tools for Office v3 CTP – very cool. I’ve been bitching for months about the apparent lack of Visual Studio support in Office 12 (and vise-versa). Looks like I was bitching for nothing (what is new?).

Keynote part deux: Kurt DelBene – another lame marketing-speak keynote. Okay that was a bit harsh… probably not seserved. One thing that stuck with me here was at the end Kurt demonstrated an application that was built without code! Hey WAIT a minute – you are speaking at a DEVELOPER conference. I thought that was a stupid move. Forget India – Microsoft might be putting us out of work! Anyway – Kurt also talked about a SharePoint VSIP that will allow you to work with the OSS object model in Visual Studio… wow my day is only getting better! Okay – one more – us Professional Developers (MSFT’s term for dudes who use Visual Studio) will also be getting an Infopath designer plug-in (add-in? VSIP?) for Visual Studio. This is awesome.

In another demo Kurt showed some features of Live Communications Server – one in which you can group individuals into a group IM account – think “help desk.” His example has a web part on a site (a wiki – a new SP template out of the box) that showed the status of the “help desk” IM account. If any one of the help desk individuals was available the presence icon showed available – if they are all busy the icon showed busy. This allowed the end user to IM the help desk to ask a question about the site he was on and the question was answered by a Help Desk account. Very cool.

TechEd 2006 - here we come

Steve Bargelt — Thu, 16 Mar 2006 21:19:00 GMT

Well I’m all set and ready for TechEd 2006 in Boston. There are approximately 12 of us going from the team I work on. Should be a blast.

One disappointment so far is that both Red Sox games on the weekend before TechEd are sold out! Damn! We really wanted to hit the Sunday (6/11) 2:05 game versus Texas. If anyone out there in the metaverse has extra tix for that game – let me know!

Related topic http://techedbloggers.net is up and running – very cool!

SharePoint Team Blog : Page Anatomy

Steve Bargelt — Thu, 09 Mar 2006 03:39:00 GMT

Awesome post about OSS page anatomy!

[from this post: SharePoint Team Blog : Page Anatomy]

No this post is not about a popular TV show! We'll cover the integrated framework we are using in the next release of SPS + CMS (breaking news - now officially Office SharePoint Server 2007 - I will cover that in a second post later today) to enable people to create, manage and publish the spectrum of very simple to very sophisticated internet sites. We've learned a lot from a variety of customer feedback on ASP.NET, WSS, SPS, CMS, FrontPage and more and hopefully brought this all together in a powerful way. Let's go through them piece by piece.
